Final answer:
Velocitation refers to the experience of thinking a car is moving slower than its actual speed. The correct answer for the question is Option C. Slower. This occurs when a driver's perception of speed is distorted after driving at high speeds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Thinking the car is slower than it actually is, is called velocitation. Hence, the correct answer is Option C. Slower. Velocitation is a phenomenon where a driver, after a period of high-speed driving, incorrectly perceives their vehicle's speed as being lower than it truly is when they slow down or move to a lower speed area. This disconnect can lead to a person speeding inadvertently because their sense of velocity has been skewed. The opposite effect is called speed adaptation, where a driver may feel like they are going slower than their true speed after driving at low speeds for an extended period.
